Remastered or Remake
I've been gaming for as long as I can remember and I've never known the industry to be so dedicated to remastering and remaking now, than ever before. AoE, C&C, Commandos, Mafia etc. Question is...
Forum Discussion
From my ideas pool thread in 2015 and my views have not changed much since then :wink:
This is just a collection of ideas for us to put together for a possible TS5, if and when it comes out.
Life stages:
All life stages should be included:
Baby (real babies, not objects)
Toddlers (could we go through the lack of toddlers again)
Children (Keep them like they are)
Pre teens (why not)
Teenagers (With their own height & voice)
Young Adults (Make them look very slightly younger than Adults)
Adults (No change needed)
Elders (With their own walk, wrinkles and voice)
World:
Open World only, no silly loading screens. If it worked in 2009, it will work in the future
Allow us to add lots of any size and edit the world as we wish
Make it look like GTA but without the violence lol
Gameplay:
Keep it cool like TS1, TS2 & TS3 style with charm and humour
Leave out angry poops
Traits and Aspirations/ Lifetime wishes:
Make Traits & Lifetime wishes like TS3 & Aspirations like TS2
Careers:
Bring back all basic careers as well as options for part time work and for teens to work their own hours to fit in with school
Careers should be:
Business
Police
Medical
Education
Culinary
Journalism
Politics
Criminal
Military
Sports
Part time:
Grocery Store
Grave Digger (why not)
Bookstore
Teens:
Same as adults but part time as well as part time jobs
Community Lots:
Rabbit holes for workplaces like TS3 but an option to edit them
Park
Library
Swimming Pool
Gym
Fishing Spot
Beach
Bar/ Hangout
Pets:
Include in base game this time.
Maybe just dogs and cats and add other animals in later EPs
Weather:
Basic weather like rain and mild storms.
Add more weather in later EPs
NPCs:
Maid
Gardner
Repair man/woman
Police
Fire
Mail Delivery
Newspaper Delivery
Burglar
Pizza
Humour (Tragic Clown, Social Bunny or something new)
Build Mode:
Everything that TS3 has but some of the new stuff from TS4, like different wall heights
CASt (Bring it back in TS3 style)
CAS
The best of all of them.
Bring back sliders
Extras:
Option to transfer Sims from one game to TS5, restoring family relationships and match skills where possible
Option to transfer lots from one game to TS5 and copy textures and colours into the new CASt to save me having to rebuild my lots
Option to transfer worlds from one game to TS5 matching roads and where to place lots and spawners to save me having to spend years rebuilding
PR & forums:
Regular presence of Gurus on the forums, asking for feedback & mention of bugs.
Bugs to be fixed when the are apparent, and apologies for those who are getting them
Game to be play tested
Forum user has to own a copy of TS5 to join forum to prevent constant troll attacks
One month's membership before one can share images, links & start PMs to prevent troll attacks
The 'Rockstar Attitude' for making the game great
Developer:
Someone who has passion for The Sims, many of the members of this forum can apply
Someone who follows the 'Will Wright Vision'
Someone like me :smiley:
